Postpartum recovery takes time. Discover gentle recovery tips and why maternity pads are an essential for comfort, support, and peace of mind after birth.
Bringing a new baby into the world is a beautiful, life-changing experience — but it also takes a lot out of your body.
Postpartum recovery is about giving yourself the same care and patience you give your little one. One of the simplest ways to support yourself? Choosing the right essentials, like maternity pads.
Here are some gentle recovery tips every new mum can lean on.
🌿
Prioritise Comfort
After birth, your body will be tender and healing. Choose maternity pads that are soft, breathable, and designed for sensitive skin.
Our Postpartum Pads are crafted with bamboo layers and a waterproof backing, so you can recover with comfort and confidence.
🌿
Stay Supported
You’ll experience postpartum bleeding (lochia) for several weeks after birth. Using maternity pads provides the coverage and absorbency you need without irritation. For lighter flow as recovery progresses, you can transition to our everyday Menstrual Pads.
🌿
Rest & Hydrate
It’s tempting to jump straight into “doing it all,” but your body needs time. Drink plenty of water, eat nourishing foods, and rest whenever you can.
🌿
Gentle Movement
Short walks and stretching can boost circulation and help you feel more like yourself. Always listen to your body — recovery looks different for every mum.
🌿
Lean on Your Essentials
Keep a basket by your bed or feeding chair stocked with:
-
Maternity pads
-
Water bottle
-
Snacks
-
Breast pads (we recommend our best-selling Reusable Breast Pads 10 Pack)
-
Nipple balm
Having everything in reach makes rest and recovery easier.
The bottom line?
Caring for yourself after birth is just as important as caring for your baby. With the right essentials — including soft, absorbent maternity pads — you can support your recovery, protect your comfort, and feel ready for this new chapter.
